A Plea For Understanding
'..- :This is a plea for a better Anglo-American understanding, I■:.do not ask -for.a cessation of criticism. That would
be an insult to our fellow-democracy. But I do ask that we
consider the whole situation and find out what we are talking, about before we mete out blame.
It is because a close understanding between Britain and
$hese United States is so obviously logical that we too often
6v6rk>ok its 'importance. We are more critical of Britain
than we are of any other nation — just in the same way
we *are more critical -df our family tb#n' of our friends. We
Jbvow; them ^ we -are -proud of them — and we expect more
|rom them. ••■.•••
In the same spirit we too often minimize what Britain
has done in our hopes of what she would ^o. When we
speak of the war years we are apt to talk too much yof
What we did — we forget that the war was nearer home to
{ih'em — we overlook the bombings, the years of darkness,
the privations and the losses among the non-combatants.
•)■■■•'. ■ '
Anglo-American understanding is much more than
sdrriething we should merely want,; or something for which,
Merely in our space time, we ought to work. It is an essential to our way iof life —- for, whe'ther we like it or
#6t- no other country is as close to our ideals and our
fundamental beliefs in the sanctity of the individual and
$ie responsibility pf government to the pebple.
1 " f .' - ■*■"' ■ •- { ~> ■
In all this talk about colonialism, we overlook the fact
that Britain has done with her far-flun£ empire, what %e
4id for the Philippines ^— ^trained them to'stand alone and
then given them dominion status. It is no longer the British Empire — but the British Commonwealth of Nations.
X'Aikd while"weTare'about it, we might recall that the
great critic of Britain — the Soviet — has in the same
years, gobbled :un g£f?i$ portions of the -world —■ making
them not even colonies, but serf-stMesO ' ■•<••/•-■
Not only do the United States and Britain share a
common language, but we think-alike on the basic principles
M freedom. Our code of laws-is based, on that of the Bri^sh,
f'%d their Magna Charta was the cprners^ne jof our owji
Sill of Rights, with all ^hat ;it has meant ^o insure justice
:to all without regard to race, creed or color. /
Now, if never before, should we work together, standing side by side, ready to swap differences of opinion and
tp., come to a friendly understanding of each other's aims
or problems.
And when savage attacks are leveled on Britain, when
loud-mouthed demagogues try to drive a wedge between us-
let us stop and say to ourselves — "Who is doing the talking? .What nation would -it help to separate the United
States and, Britain,?" Don't be led by thejiqse by, the masters of subversive prop^"an<3a!tiet the past be the yardstick by which1 • we meastJte -the future;
One For All-All For One
What do you want? Justice or privileges? Dp-you want
the; patronge pf charity or the opportunity of equal treatment from" equals; " - ...
V.., Do you want to be served first — or when your time
comes? Do you want people to cater to you because they
think you are inferior and therefore must have things done
for you? Or do you want them to give you the same kind
of treatment they give their friends? , *.-'.,.
Why do I bring this up? Because it is one .thing that
ought-to be put before every group or bloc in this .country
-4- whether it be manufacturers' associations or labor unions,
religious.or racial minorities. (And it wouldn't hurt to apply
ip-to. nations as well.).; The minute you lobby for special
privileges or advantages for your own group, at the expense
of others, you put yourself in a subordinate position or
class. -
The dignity of the individual is dependent as much upon
the way he takes hold of; responsibilities as it does" upon
tjhe way he seizes upon his rights: Both are for all the
people — not for any one group or bloc- What we "should
sjtrive to obtain is equality of opportunity for all, special
privileges for none. Anything else is un-democratic.
The majority that uses its weight of numbers to discriminate against any minority is un-democratic. The minority" that uses vociferous attacks upon individuals, or appeals
to mob sympathy to obtain special privileges for itself ap a
group is undemocratic.
The price of greatness is responsibility. The price of
democracy is willingness to consider others as one with
ourselves and as equjal sharers in the gooid things of }ife.
One of the mpst encouraging signs for the future fs
that the boys who are in training are learning first hand
that they are judged by the soldiers they make, not by ithe
homes from which they "come. They are! learning 'how :fco
get along with each other, how to obey and how to lead.
, We are a government oi Ahe,people and, for-the- people.
5ut we can fulfill our destiny .as a nation -only, as the. in-,
dividuals, who comprise it, work for the good of all the
pjeople, and disown the out-modeled bloc or special privilege
group legislation system.

In these positions he had many

through college.
News stories of experimental
"work on rubber* gnpwlng in the
United States; carried on in-the
early 1920's by Harvey S. Firestone and Thomas A. Edison,
whetted Mr. Helm's interest in
that field and led to his employment w.ith Firestone.
Between Liberian assignments,
Mr Helm made a study in Mexico of Castilla elastica, the native
rubber- of Central America. He
has also traveled widely in Europe and visited many countries
in South) America ^nd Africa. •
During'the past year he has
appeared before many audiences

tive training conference at Hiram College on February 23.

'Operation Football Score Board'
Set In Motion By School Board
Ask Community for Funds to Meet April 30th
Campaign Goal
There is being launched, under
the auspices of the Board of Education, a program to raise money to purchase an Electric Score
Board for the North Canton Memorial Stadium.
On many occasions, the Board
has been approached by interested citizens and sport enthusiasts' about the need for an Electric Football Score Board.
It has been pointed out that
•only in this item is the North
Canton Memorial Stadium deficient. No community has a finer
football.field, a more adequate
and comfortable stadium, or a
better maintained Athletic Field
than has North Canton.
The purchase . and instaUation
of an Electric Football Score
Board .would make' this facility,
then, -the very best.
It .is hoped that the financing
of tins .prp-ject can be done
through' contributions from interested' community' leaders and organizations. .'The Football Score
Board Committee appointed by
the'koard-of Education is*. E. R.
Malone, chairman; Paul Basner,
treasurer; Dr. Wm T. Krich-
baum, Don Martin and Gene Valentine.
The Committee has made the
following plans for launching
what they have termed "Operation Score Board":
Mail to community leaders and
organizations a statement of purpose and need.
Designate Paul Basner of the
Citizens Savings and Loan, North
Canton Branch, to receive contributions.
In soliciting for "Operation
Score Board", contacts will be
made by mail to organizations
and individuals. Contributions
are to be sent to Paul Basner
at the Citizens .Savings and Loan.
Progress reports will be posted
from time to time. -The committee is desirous of completing the
•campaign by April 30.
It is hoped to have the new
Electric Score Board in operation for -the opening football
game on September 13, with
Perry High School.
